It was a gamble to go with young inexperienced coordinators, but it has failed badly. Fans can only wonder what this offense and defense could be with a competent coordinator. The offense especially. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DBW Posted December 17, 2023 Author Share Posted December 17, 2023 The timing of this is all pretty funny too. byard convinces Desai to let them scout > team boards plan to Seattle before anyone can ask coaches about it > team announces change at DC. this wasn’t as reactionary as people think. I believe that Patricia was here the whole time with the thought he could take over if Desai struggles. Plan B so to speak. th bye week may have been a better time to change though. They hung on to Desai for too long. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MF POON Posted December 17, 2023 Share Posted December 17, 2023 We'll see how it goes, but we're so bad that there's no way we could be any worse lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LacesOut Posted December 17, 2023 Share Posted December 17, 2023 With the lack of talent this team has on D, what can a new Coach actually do, I wonder. Desai has been bad, except for a couple of games. I like the fact that they probably did a 'look in the Coaching Mirror' thing, and came up with this decision. Doubt it has any impact on the D. IMO, they are what they are at this point in the season. Hope I'm 100% wrong. Desai didn't let the two starting Safeties and two starting LBs leave and a starting DT leave via FA, while signing the two 30 year old CBs to new contracts. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the same personnel that shut Miami down so they must have the talent in there somewhere. It'll be interesting to see how things play out. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's no way Desai will be back next season, I guess they're auditioning Patricia for 2024 DC Kind of hard for me to view this as a promotion when he’s basically been delegated to being a position coach and we aren’t even sure which position he’s coaching. If Patricia comes in and turns this defense around especially without Slay I see no way Desai is back in any capacity. The Eagles (short of Chip Kelly) generally don’t like to make coaching moves during a season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right, somebody had to take the blame for that back 7, unfortunately they picked someone that had nothing to do with assembling it, Howie is a slim ball.

Talonblood Posted December 18, 2023 Share Posted December 18, 2023 You gotta be pretty damn bad to get demoted IN SEASON. I thought Desai was going to be good- but he just sucks. Side note: From what I have read so far, all of Patricia's defenses have been top 10. So there's that. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Eagles D doesn't even have to be good...they just have to be below average.... just not horrible....to give them a chance to win. At least be able to stop teams on 3rd and long once in a while. Anything will be an improvement at this point. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ipiggles Posted December 18, 2023 Share Posted December 18, 2023 I have seen mediocre DC's do way more with far less talent than what Desai has done with the Birds. Lets put it this way, there is no way it could be any worse than being the worst Defense in the NFL- which we are. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't expect it to be like a light switch, but I do hope to see lots of improvement. Even though the last 3 games should be wins and might be... yea but it was the NYG and Cards, I need to see us dominate them, not just squeeze by to be a believer. We're so bad the only way is up, so here's hoping. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
